You were not sure this eve,
How my face, your flower, had pursed
It's petals up ...

While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!

The fingers of this hand wherewith I write;
And, ever since, it grew more clean and white.

I leaned down... and kissed him.
And the world cracked open.

Drop a tear and bid adieu;
Though we sever, my fond heart
Till we meet shall pant for you.

that last glance of love which becomes
the sharpest pang of sorrow.
~ George Eliot [Mary Ann Evans] -

~ Henry Finck
There is the kiss of welcome and
of parting, the long, lingering, loving,
present one; the stolen, or the mutual one;
the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow;
the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment.
~ Thomas C. Haliburotn (1796-1865)-
Never a lip is curved with pain
That can't be kissed into smile again.
~ Brete Harte
You may conquer with the sword,
but you are conquered by a kiss.

~ Ernest Hemingway
Give me a kiss, add to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more:
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million.
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun.
~ Robert Herrick
I dare not ask a kiss;
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest having that or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire shall be
Only to kiss that air,
That lately kissed thee.
~ Robert Herrick
You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss...

He could not help but kiss her and adore.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the
most crucial in any love story. It changes the
relationship of two people much more strongly
than even the final surrender; because this kiss
already has within it that surrender.
~ Emil Ludwig
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!
Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!
Come Helen, come give me my soul again.
Here will I dwell, for heaven be in these lips,
And all is dross that is not Helena.
~ Christopher Marlowe
A kiss can be a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point.

In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.

then you changed my world with just one kiss.
~ N Sync
A kiss, when all is said, what is it?
A rosy dot placed on the "i" in loving;
'Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.

A man snatches the first kiss, pleads for the second, demands the third, takes the fourth, accepts the fifth--and endures all the rest.

And that's a feeling disputation.

Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made
For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.
~ William Shakespeare

Over my frame he breathed, approaching near,
And bent his eyes of kindling tenderness
Near mine, and on my lips impressed a lingering kiss,
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

The sunlight claps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
